The merchant and mayor Peter Kremer and his wife Catharina, b. Ensfelts had the magnificent half-timbered building built in 1671. During the French era , the then “Maire” (mayor), a Mr. Loosen, was the owner. For a long time the "Gasthof Schwanen" was located in the house, where Napoleon is said to have stayed overnight even in 1806 . The half-timbered house has been extensively renovated in recent years.
